Planning a climbing trip throughout Europe, no fixed plans so far. My climbing buddies are all too busy to take off time so looking for a partner. Thinking of a cheap one way flight to France end of May (currently under $700) then hire, buy or lease a car for a couple of months. Will take a small trad rack, pointy stuff (alpine routes in Switzerland and France) and buy a 70m rope there for sport routes. Open for suggestions.

Have a look at the Goschenen valley in Switzerland, around the Bergsee hut and the Salbit (?) hut. Alpine granite. Only got to do a couple of little routes there after meeting up with some other climbers, but I thought it was a great place and didn't seem that crowded for Europe (Salbit hut is more popular I think).

i will also be in europe for the summer (july august) want to climb in w. austria. heard there is some great granite there. orca, arca something??? not arco in italy. would like to go to norway but it's just too pricey. if i don't have a job sorted for sept. would like to go back to paklenica in croatia as well. cheers.

You want to blow your mind try Adrspach north of Prague and Sachsische Schweiz just outside Dresden. They are both great places to climb and you can buy you rack there for about 30 bucks. Also easy to find some one to climb with in Dresden and you don't need a car there.
